ZU says goodbye to the 36th and 37th cohorts
Because the spring semester graduation ceremony had to be cancelled again due to the coronavirus pandemic, ZU has said its goodbyes to the 36th and 37th cohorts this fall semester. The new graduates were presented with their bachelor's and master's certificates at festive graduation ceremonies on ZU's ZF Campus.
